VitaProHealth’s Routine Organic Turmeric Blend
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in Turmeric and is a potent antioxidant that neutralises free radicals that create inflammation. Recent studies have made a connection between depression and chronic inflammation. It is known that antioxidants like curcumin can help relieve symptoms of depression by fighting chronic inflammation, as has been shown in multiple successful trials.
Curcumin is poorly absorbed into your bloodstream on its own, which is why Routine Organic Blend includes black pepper and ginger root extract for absorption help.
Be confident in knowing that you’re getting the best recommended daily dose as part of your routine.
